Demarest Building

USA / New Jersey / West New York /
 showroom, historical layer / disappeared object
Former showroom building of the high-end carriage manufacturer A. T. Demarest & Co. Designed by Renwick, Aspinwall & Russell, four stories of buff-colored iron-spot brick sat on a stone base. It had replaced the three brownstones that had stood at Nos. 335 through 339. The Demarest building had been completed four years earlier. Terra cotta medallions and panels accented the façade; but the grand three-story arched openings separated by shallow brick pilasters stole the show. The architects flooded in the interior with light from the dramatic windows which managed not to overpower the dignified design. Cast metal bays, two stories tall, nestled within the grand arches.

It was demolished by 2022.
